Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also seemed to have a more severe cough, and she had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis and high fever for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
